Squaliformes, a fascinating group of sharks that encompasses various species with unique characteristics and habitats. From the Greenland shark to the small-spotted catshark, these creatures never fail to captivate us. In one snapshot, we witness a mesmerizing sight: a Greenland shark swimming gracefully through icy waters, accompanied by a parasitic copepod clinging onto its body. This symbiotic relationship showcases nature's intricate balance. Moving on to the small-spotted catshark, an illustrated side view allows us to admire its sleek and elegant form. Its presence reminds us of the diverse marine life found in our oceans. The spiny dogfish catches our attention next as it poses for a portrait off the coast of Rhode Island in New England. A proud representative of its species, this shark exemplifies strength and resilience. Venturing into deeper depths lies the angular roughshark, dwelling at 80-300 meters below sea level. Its adaptation to such extreme conditions is awe-inspiring and highlights the wonders hidden beneath the surface. Returning once again to the Greenland shark with its parasitic copepod companion emphasizes their remarkable bond—a testament to nature's interconnectedness. Stepping away from sharks momentarily, we encounter Turkish men and women depicted alongside goats in drawings by Jacopo Ligozzi (1547-1627). These illustrations offer glimpses into cultural traditions intertwining humans and animals throughout history. Resuming our exploration underwater brings us face-to-face with another intriguing species—the Cuban dogfish found in Exuma Sound within Bahamas' crystal-clear waters. Its presence adds vibrancy to an already captivating ecosystem. Further south in Canary Islands lies an angelic scene—an angel shark resting peacefully on sandy shores. This gentle creature serves as a reminder of both beauty and vulnerability existing within fragile ecosystems worldwide. As we conclude this journey through Squaliformes' diversity, let's not forget Mustelus canis or Smooth Dogfish—a species captured in a side view.
